Report: official npd employee Benji states Switch is more in demand than all phones and TVs combined
I'm glad to see it do well, I just figured with no big releases it may not have been a clear favorite for #1.
:)
[NSW] 270K
[PS4] 220K
[XB1] 80K
Switch will remain on top, PS4 on steady course, although with some drop in sales YOY. Regarding X1, this year sales will fall sharply ( even with price-cut, anyway, X1 is always on sale ).

Tax returns is going to be interesting to see how it affects sales. I owe money, I've never owed money before. Coworker got $0 back. I know I don't plan on buying anything game related outside of Yoshi until June. Shits fucked up.
I don't doubt Switch will take #1 spot comfortably, but I'm more interested in seeing how XBox One/PS4 performed as Feburary actually had some of the biggest releases in H1, if Anthem/Metro/Jump Force/Far Cry together couldn't move hardware sales then this year looked to be the worst in recent memory....
Anthem should be the best selling title of Feb but can it sell enough to meet EA's sales target of 5-6m globally before end of March?

Yep. My tax guy told me it was something about changes in the withholding tables. Like, technically we get tax cuts but it didn't actually make a difference in terms of what we pay in taxes.
Unless you're a billionaire. Then yay, you get to keep an extra million or so, good for you!
I'm legitimately curious what effect Tetris 99 has had on NSO subscriptions at the very least, but I could see it pushing some hardware given it's gotten really good reception and is pretty popular on Twitch.
This should be last year's numbers as approx by welfare
PS4: ~363K
XB1: ~310K
NSW: ~279K
OTH: ~137K
3DS: ~103K
[NSW] 310K
[PS4] 250K
[XB1] 175K
As for software, I think Anthem will be on top, and Crackdown 3 be in the top 5.

So this year could be the opposite, Switch over 300k, PS4 under 300k and Xbox possibly under 250k.
I never had kids so I could buy all the video games instead. Probably a terrible mistake. Well, not the not having kids part. Still very happy with that choice.
Until they get rich and famous and I can mooch off of them!
That would be step 4 I guess.

Trickle-down economics. The only tie to Reagan-ism left in the modern GOP.

"billionaires took my tax refunds so i cannot buy videogames" is the peak of neo-socialist propaganda
So what's up with the tax refunds this year?
Is it related to the government shutdown?

Trump's "tax cuts" that were passed in 2017 were put into effect last year, changing what most people owe and got taken out of each paycheck. End result, millionaires and billionaires (and corporations) got heavy tax cuts, most normal people wound up with smaller tax refunds/needing to owe money.
Did people have to pay less taxes during the year or the same?
That's what I'm not quite sure of. I'm not a tax expert, but my tax guy said there were changes in the withholding tables which means there are automatic changes in how much gets taken out of each paycheck. I have no idea if that amount made up for the lowered refund or not.
